Tips and tricks
Roasting
:
There is a risk of injury if you use roasting dishes that
are not heat-resistant!
Only use roasting dishes that are marked as being suitable for
use in the oven.
Do not use shelf height 2 when roasting with
3
Hot air. This will
adversely affect air circulation and your roasting results will not
be as good.
Open roasting
For open roasting, a roasting dish without a lid is used.
Add liquid to the roasting dish if required. During roasting, the
liquid in the roasting dish will evaporate. If necessary, carefully
add more hot liquid.
When you are roasting using
%
Top/bottom heat, turn the roast
approximately half to two thirds of the way through the roasting
time.
Roasting in the universal pan
Juices escape from the roasting meat and are collected in the
universal pan. You can use these juices as the basis for a tasty
gravy.
You can also cook side dishes (e.g. vegetables) at the same
time as roasting meat in the universal pan.
For smaller joints, you can use a smaller roasting dish instead
of the universal pan. Place this directly on the wire rack.
Roasting with a lid
Roasting dishes with lids are used for this kind of roasting. This
method is particularly suitable for pot roasts.
Roasting table
The roasting time and temperature depend on the size, height,
type and quality of the item.
As a general rule: the larger the item, the lower the temperature
and the longer the roasting time.
The information in the table is a guideline, and relates to items
cooked without a lid. The values may vary depending on the
type and quantity of the meat/fish and on the roasting dish.
You should set the lower of the specified temperatures the first
time. This will generally allow more even browning.
At the end of the roasting time, switch the oven off and leave
the roast to rest for approximately 10 minutes in the cooking
compartment with the door closed. The recommended rest time
is not included in the given roasting times.
The information in the table is for food placed in a cold oven
and for meat/fish taken directly from the refrigerator.
The cake is too light in colour Check the shelf height and the recommended bakeware. Place the baking tin on the wire
rack and not on the baking tray. Increase the baking time or the temperature.
The cake is too dark Check the shelf height. Shorten the baking time or reduce the temperature.
The cake is unevenly browned in the
baking tin
Check the shelf height and the temperature. Do not place the baking tin directly in front
of the air outlets in the back wall of the cooking compartment. Check for the correct posi-
tion of the baking tin on the wire rack.
The cake is unevenly browned on the
baking tray
Check the shelf height and the temperature. When baking small items, make sure that
they are the same size and thickness.
The cake is too dry Shorten the baking time and increase the temperature slightly.
The cake is too moist in the centre Reduce the temperature. Note: Higher temperatures do not mean shorter baking times
(cooked on the outside, but not on the inside). Increase the baking time and allow the
cake dough to prove longer. Add less liquid to the mixture.
The cake collapses when you take it out
of the oven
Add less liquid to the mixture. Increase the baking time or reduce the temperature.
The specified baking time is not correct For small items, check the amount on the baking tray. The items must not be touching
each other.
Frozen products are not browned evenly
after baking
If frozen products are unevenly browned when prebaked, then uneven browning is to be
expected after baking.
Frozen products are not browned, not
crispy or the specified time is not cor-
rect
Remove ice from frozen products before baking them. Do not use heavily frosted frozen
products.
